This is probably the most personal thing I will talk about in while, my fitness journey has just been for physical health. It is for moments like this...moments were I figure out more about myself. Something that I am learning about more about myself throughout this journey.
If you know me, you know this one of my favorite things in the world since October 2018. But recently I was thinking about why that is I think that because this acceptable thing to most people I just being active. But it so much more than that.
This is my quiet place, this how I deal with the world, and this my way to deal with my emotions. As someone who has known that they were different from those around me. I have always been told that I am not _____ , you will never do ____, or I do not fit in the box for Autism.
Here is my truth, this with my headphones is not just for my physical health and mental health. This my way to do that dred word "stim" in the world in a way that is acceptable that if you did not know that I was autistic that I look like I am active.
I tried to stay away from the word "stim" because most people think of them as typical autistic behaviors. But female on spectrum actually do behavior that are normal human behavior. In less someone points it out you would know that they are stim behaviors.
These winter months, I get frustrated by fact that I am not able to walk outside but few days a week. It is very much more than health benefits because with the changes we are working toward this year, it is my way of dealing with world in way that is healthy for me. That not only makes it easier for me deal with changes but helps me stay levelheaded in situations that I am not comfortable in. These situations are days when I need walking to take the everyday stressors away and focus on things that I need to accomplish for that day. So yes to you, it just a walk but to me it is so more meet the eye to it.
